Update (8:30 AM) – I just noticed that if this were a new Eeveelution, it would be the eighth one… and the announcement is being made on the 8th! It’s a Tuesday too, which is an odd day of the week to make a Pokemon announcement. Not sure if I’m looking too much into things at this point though…

Could they be hinting at a new Eeveelution in light of the announcement coming Tuesday? Ash is currently battling in the Unova League (in Japan) and one of the contenders, Virgil, owns an Eevee and all of its evolutions. Could we see his Eevee evolve into a new Eeveelution during the League? Blaziken was first introduced in the Johto League, after all. There have been many Eeveelution promotions these past few months, and the Genesect movie is also going to feature an Eevee mini-movie, so could this all be leading to a new Eeveelution or is this all just a happy coincidence? I don’t know for sure, but it’s all just a tad too convenient to not be leading up to something in my opinion…
